Christmas is the feast commemorating the birth of Christ. It is fixed in the liturgical year as December 25th and is preceded by four week of fasting called Advent.
Christmas Day and its festival are a curious blend of Christian, Jewish, Roman, Western pagan, and perhaps other institutions. It arose as a Christian festival as part of the adaptation of the early Christian Church to the world in which it grew up.
Christmas dinner is the primary meal traditionally eaten on Christmas Day. It is often seen as the main event of the day for which family members gather together spreading good will, tidings and rejoicing in the holiday season.
